A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 186: Invite Suzy Back to the Park Group
Suzy vaguely remembered that in the haze, Liam was repeatedly brushing her hair, until she completely lost consciousness and fell asleep…Perhaps because her strength was drained, she slept very deeply.Before Liam left, he intentionally closed the curtains tightly, blocking out any trace of light, which led Suzy to sleep until noon before waking up.When Suzy woke up, she glanced at her phone and noticed a missed call from her mother and another one from Alec.What could Alec want from her?Suzy quickly sat up to clear her head, then returned the call."Mr. Lincoln, were you looking for me?""Yes, I was wondering when you'd return to work.”"You could've called a few more times; I overslept by accident... I'm sorry! Next time, if it's urgent, feel free to call me repeatedly." Suzy hurriedly apologized.Alec chuckled on the other end, saying, "Mr. Park already informed me that you were still sleeping and advised me not to disturb you. He mentioned that you'd reach out once you woke up.

Upon reaching Alec's office, Suzy knocked on the door.She heard a voice from within saying "come in," so she pushed the door open and entered."Mr. Lincoln, I'm here."Alec looked up from a stack of files and pointed to some documents on the desk. "You need to enter these into the computer. I'll send you the latest updates on the New Valley project, and you can handle the due diligence this afternoon.""Alright." Suzy picked up the documents to review them, and then promptly sent a file to Alec using her phone. "I had already inputted these before my suspension. I have them saved on my cloud because I didn't have access rights.""You inputted all these sections?!" Alec was surprised and immediately opened the file to check, "You really weren't idle during your break!"To put it into perspective, this workload amounted to nearly half a month's worth of tasks! Despite being suspended from Park Group for a brief period, Suzy still managed to accomplish so much!Suzy smiled. "I always kne
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 188: I Rely on My Husband, So What
Naturally, outsiders felt envy. They believed Suzy was incredibly lucky to have earned Liam's favor, but deep down, it weighed heavily on her own heart. She didn't know what she could possibly offer Liam in return!Suzy felt that for a relationship to last, there should at least be some balance! Balancing their statuses was incredibly difficult, but she wanted to balance their contributions....After a day's work, as she was leaving in the evening, Liam specifically messaged her to wait for him so they could go home together after his meeting.Suzy used this time to tidy up her desk.Since she was usually too busy to organize and file documents properly, she just made sure she knew where everything was kept.After finishing, she checked her phone and still saw no message from Liam.The meeting was probably more complicated than expected.Stretching her back, Suzy decided to take a walk outside, but just as she left the office, she encountered the last person she wanted to see—Sophia
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 189: Don’t Be So Good to Me
"Miss Burns, do you have any comments?" Liam interjected before Suzy could speak, his tall figure shielding her completely.His posture seemed to suggest that if Sophia dared to insult Suzy further, he was ready to intervene physically.In Liam's presence, Sophia naturally couldn't continue her haughty behavior.She furrowed her brows slightly, looking up at Liam, "Don't forget the promise you made to your father."After that, Sophia turned and walked away.She left those words hanging, and surprisingly, Suzy did not pursue the matter."I've finished up; let's go home," Liam said."Okay."Liam didn’t call for a driver; instead, he personally drove them back to Easter Bay.On the way, they stopped to buy some vegetables and fruits, and after arriving home, they busied themselves in the kitchen and had a simple dinner.Near the end of the meal, Suzy hesitated with her fork in hand and suddenly said, "You should take back the project account and password you gave me. It would make your pa
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 190: Check-Up
After finishing the meeting, Liam quietly pushed open the bedroom door, careful not to wake Suzy.However, he found her still awake, working late into the night at her computer.He frowned slightly and quietly approached to look at the data and reports on her screen. "Is the workload I've given you too heavy?"Suzy jumped, startled. "When did you get here? I didn't see you.""Just now, you were very focused." Liam sat at the end of the bed. "I'll ask Alec to lighten your load.""No need! I asked him to delegate these tasks to me." While speaking, Suzy did not stop her work, "I've been resting recently, and he's probably been too busy to sleep. Now that I've taken some of the workload, it should give him a chance to breathe.""But you need to work overtime every day to handle all this.""It won't be for long, just a week at most."Suzy marked the documents one by one, saved them, and finally closed her computer with a sigh of relief. "Don't worry about me, I know my own limits."Despit
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 191: Before the Incident
Liam didn't reply to him. He simply deleted the message and opened the window before lighting a cigarette using the lighter.Top of FormAfter calming himself, he showered and returned to the bedroom, embracing the already asleep Suzy.In moments like these, he felt a sense of reality that Suzy was truly his....The next morning, Suzy was awakened by her alarm clock.As she had to accompany Alec today for some due diligence, she needed to prepare the documents and such at the company in advance.She had thought she would wake up earlier than Liam, but when she opened her eyes, he was already up, preparing breakfast in the kitchen.Stretching, she walked over in her slippers. "Liam, sometimes I think you don't need to sleep at all."Liam was frying eggs, turning his handsome face to glance at her and smiled. "I'm used to it. I haven't slept more than six hours since graduation.""Being a CEO is really tough." Suzy realized.She used to think that being the one giving orders was the mos
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 192: Today Will Be the Last
As Liam's car disappeared from view, Suzy turned with a smile, heading back to her office.When suddenly, Sophia appeared out of nowhere, her high heels clicking on the ground as she approached Suzy step by step.Suzy wanted to avoid getting involved with Sophia; she had a lot of work to do and couldn't afford to deal with Sophia every day."You don't need to avoid me. Today will be the last time I'll talk to you alone."Sophia wore a floral perfume, its scent distinct as she drew closer.Suzy disliked the smell.She stepped back. "What do you want to say?""Stay away from Liam, or you'll face consequences you can't handle."Sophia's words carried an implicit threat.Though her tone wasn't loud or fierce, somehow, it weighed heavily on Suzy."What are you trying to do? Miss Burns, you and your mother took away the family that should have been mine, I haven't done anything to hurt you so far. But instead, you're trying to frame and blackmail me. Don't think for a moment that I'm an easy
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 193: I Need to Come Back
His simple WhatsApp message instantly dissolved all of Suzy's fatigue and worries from the day.Perhaps this was the power of love, no wonder everyone longed for it."Alright, take care out there too.""Okay."After putting down her phone, Suzy took a bath to relax.After changing into her home clothes, she instinctively checked when her period was due.Before married life, her periods were often late due to work stress or life pressures, so she wasn't panicked or overly worried, thinking this delay was probably due to the pileup of events affecting her health.However, her period was often late by only three or five days at most.It seemed she really should visit the hospital sooner rather than later!Suddenly, the doorbell rang.Suzy rushed to open the door, and indeed, it was John, carrying a variety of bags, both large and small, indicating a generous selection."I'm just one person, I can't eat all this!""Mr. Park was worried there might be something you won’t like to eat, so he
